Release notes for MECCA 2000 version 4.12.  May/24/2007



Fixed:
1. When saving a file or printing to file, default file extensions were
   sometimes incorrectly added (dbox.tcl).

2. EAN-13 barcode human-readable was printed incorrectly (typdrv).


Changed/New:

1. A new printing option has been added to print dashed/dotted lines
   to closer resemble the on-screen display (typdrv, PSlinstyl.ps,
   mecca3).

   In the defaults option file, /usr/mecca/cfg/mecca3, if a text line:

	lp_weight53

   exists, dashed lines will print by the 5-3 rule: 5x line weight on,
   3x line weight off (note that for square-ended dashes, it'll be 6x
   on and 2x off); and for dotted lines the spacing between dots will
   be 5x line weight.  Thusly, dashed/dotted pattern spacing is directly
   based on the line weight in effect.

   Root user can edit /usr/mecca/cfg/mecca3 file, and add the "lp_weight53"
   line as the last line in file.  Please note that with this option set,
   existing artworks containing dashed/dotted lines will print differently
   from before.

2. In EAN-13 barcode dialog, the code digits are now merged into one
   entry box -- the old way (2 entry boxes with a single leading digit) did
   not make much sense (ean13.tcl).

3. When printing artwork that contains custom dots, the following options
   for printing the custom dots: read-wrong, and rotate the dot along with
   main main print rotation, may now be set or cleared to work with RIP's
   that may not rotate/mirror the custom dots (m2kbin, typdrv, print.tcl,
   tclIndex).
